Painting - Watercolour
Description
Watercolour painting inspired by a trip to Cleare Island (also known as Cape Clear) off the south coast in County Cork Ireland.
I sketched this landscape, a laneway with stone walls leading to a cottage, the sea-breeze bending the trees over windswept fields.
This is a beautiful island of rugged scenery, sheltered sparkling harbours, cliffs, bogs and scenic pebble beaches. It is steeped in wildlife -rare migratory birds, whales, sun fish and shark which are spotted from the Island every year, as well as the regular visitors, the dolphins.
The peaceful and unspoilt landsape, the friendly Islanders and the variety of flora and fauna makes for the perfect artists or walking holiday experience removed from the hustle and bustle of mainland life.
